Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 12, 1915.

Application led April 25, 1914, Serial No. 834,326. Renewed August 16, 1915. Serial No. 45,822.

To all whom it may Concern.'

Be it known that I,- FREDERIG KIEFER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and kState of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Display Devices, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates particularly to a display device on which wringing machines may be placed in a shop, store, or other place where said wringers are to be sold or eX- amined. And the principal purpose of the invention is to obtain a device in which wringers of different sizes may be displayed without adjustment of the` device and in which all parts of the wringer may be eX- posed to view, by turning said wringer about a given point to bring all sides thereof in view of a person standing in front of the device.

Further objects are to obtain a device which is simple in construction, easily understood, not liable to break or get out of order, and readily manipulated.

In the drawing accompanying` and forming a part of this specification Figure 1 illustrates a device embodying this invention,

with a wringer contained thereon, in side elevation. Fig. 2 is a top plan view ofthe device. Fig. 3 is a side elevation, and Fig. 4 a front elevation of the device. Fig. 5 is aperspective of a pivoted member of the device. Fig. 6 is a top plan view of an engaging member of the device, andy Fig. 7 is a horizontal section on 'line 7 7 of Fig. 3, viewed in the direction indicated by the arrows. Fig. l is drawn to ay smaller scale than are the remainder of the figures in the drawing.

A reference letter applied to designate a given part indicates said part throughout the several figures of the drawing wherever the same appears. Y

A is the base of the device, and when the device is in use said base is in a substantially vertical position.

B is a table rmly secured to the base A, and in Fig. 3 said table is shown integral with said base.

C is a rotatable member pivotally secured on table B by pivot D.

E is a bolt, (which is illustrated with the winged head e), fitting in a screw threaded hole in side C1 of member C.

Cis a side to member C, rsubstantially parallel to side C1.

F is a groove on the upper end of baserA. Groove F is obtained by the sides f, f, and flanges f1, f1.

G is a movable member, which is movable vertically in groove F, and forms what I term a sub-base. n

H is an eye-bolt, which is provided with screw threads kit fitting into corresponding screw threads in sub-base G.

X is a portion of a wall7 or post, against which the device issecured by fastenings which extend through the holes Y, (Fig. 4) in base A.

lV is a wringer, provided with side posts Z, Z, and adjusting bo-lts Z1.

To. use the device the bottom of one of the side posts, (Z,Fig. l), is secured in the rotatable member C, between the sides C1, C2,

by turning bolt E firmly against one sidey of said post, and one of the adjusting bolts Z1, Z1, of the wringer (lettered W), is removed from the wringer, extended through the eye of the eye-bolt H, and again put in place in the wrinsger.

In l the wringer which is illustrated is shown in front elevation, with the device shown in side elevation. By moving the side oi' wringer W which isshown as at the j extreme right hand in Fig. l, said wringer will be turned around the axial line of the pivot D, and either end, as well as the opposite side of said wringer,v is thereby brought into view.

Groove Fforms a guide for the sub-head or movablemember G, and the eye bolt H forms a means of attachment to the adjusting screw or bolt of the wringer which is toy be displayed in the device. Guide F permits movable member G to beraisedk and adjusted to different sizes of wringers.

In a display device for wringers, the combination `of a vertical base provided with a horizontal table and a vertical guide, a pivoted member on said table adapted to support thevertical member of a wringer, means to attach said member thereto, a member adsaid Wringer Vdisplayed in 'said device in a justably movable vertically in said guide vertical position, With said vvringer movable andchorizontally adjustable meansrtolattach in a substantially horizontal lane.
